TWELVE PARABLES
PARABLE OF THE
SOWER
Matthew 13: 3
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
13: 4
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by
the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up:
13: 5
Some fell upon stony places, where they
had not much earth: and forthwith they
sprung up, because they had no deepness
of earth:
13: 6
And when the sun was up, they were
scorched; and because they had no root,
they withered away.
13: 7
And some fell among thorns; and the
thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13: 8
But other fell into good ground,
and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some
thirtyfold.
13: 9
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:18
Hear ye therefore the parable of the
sower.
13:19
When any one heareth the word of
the kingdom, and understandeth it
not, then cometh the wicked one, and
catcheth away that which was sown in
his heart. This is he which received
seed by the way side.
13:20
But he that received the seed into stony
places, the same is he that heareth the
word, and anon with joy receiveth it:
13:21
Yet hath he not root in himself,
but endureth for awhile: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth
because of the word, by and by he
is offended.
13:22
He also that received seed among
thorns is he that heareth the word;
and the care of this world, and the
deceitfulness of riches, choke the
word, and he becometh unfruitful.
13:23
But he that received the seed into the
good ground is he that heareth the
word, and understandeth it; which
also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth,
some an hundredfold, some sixty,
some thirty.
The sower in Mt.13:3 represents the Chosen Messenger
of the Lord.
The seeds that are sown represent the revealed Word of
God, and the
earth (ground) represents the mind (forehead).
The parable that Christ
of 2,000 years ago was presenting, was an illustration of
a farmer sowing
seeds in the days of Christ. The words (seeds) of
Christ were sown into
many minds (earth; soil) who heard his words.
Some who heard the words of Christ were likened unto
the seed that fell
by the way side. This represents the type of person that
comes to listen to
revealed Truth and while they contemplate on the words
that were spoken
unto them, they have no understanding of what was
revealed unto them.
Therefore, when a friend or fellow Christian is asked for
their opinion by
the person that received the seeds by the way side, they
are easily
persuaded to disregard the seeds of Truth that were
revealed unto them.
This type of person is represented by those whose seed
fell by the way
side, see Mt.13:19 in relation to Mt.13:4.
Before the Lamb was killed he revealed the Seven
Seals. The Chosen
Vessel now reveals the Revelation that is written on the
opposite side
of the scroll. Those who heard the word of the Lamb or
the Chosen
Vessel, yet do not comprehend the meaning (yet become
influenced
by others to reject the Revelation of the Seven Seals),
are represented
as the seed that fell by the way side. The people who
convince others not
to believe the Revelation (Present Truth) are
represented by the fowls
(adversaries of Truth) that devour up the words (seeds)
of life.
There are those who are represented by the seed that
falls upon stony places,
where there is little earth. This is the type of person
that hears revealed Truth
and quickly believes, accepting what was given, yet does
not reason things
out. They readily admit openly to the one that is
revealing the Truth that they
see it and believe without a doubt. This type of person
is impulsive and as
quickly as they make their confession (that the words
of the messenger
of God are of Truth) will just as easily fall out of
believing the Truth when
persecution or tribulation ariseth.
The person who is represented by the seed that falls
upon stony ground has
little soil to grow in, therefore they endure, but only
for a little while. When
they first heard the words of life they were glad with
joy, then after a while
(because they have no deep roots in themselves for the
words of Truth
to really sink into the mind), the same person
quickly becomes offended,
showing that they are easily offended when others
ridicule their belief in the
Revelation of the Seven Seals.
A believer in the Revelation of Truth must endure and
expect to be mocked,
persecuted, hated, and expect all manner of evil spoken
against them falsely,
see Mt.5:10,11. Only those who have their roots deeply in
the earth will be
able to stand against the wicked; and who are the wicked?
The wicked do
not understand the Revelation of the prophecies, see
Dan.12:10. Only the
wise shall understand and be able to stand in the great
and dreadful day of
Gods anger which is at the very doors of
fulfillment. Therefore those that
have no deep root (foundation) in the revealed
Word of God, will be
offended by the revealed Truth when tribulation and
persecution ariseth
against them, see Mt.13:20,21, in relation to Mt.13:5,6.
The parable introduces another type of person who is
represented by the
seed that falls among thorns. Although the seed falls
into good soil and takes
root, it is amongst thorns. Therefore, when the blade of
the seed begins to
grow up, the thorns are there to choke the growing blade.
The person that
is represented as being the seed that grows amongst
thorns, is the type of
person that hears Gods revealed Word of Truth and
believes thereon,
yet their real God is the world.
The riches and lusts of what the world offers them
causes them to become
unfruitful. The world has such a hold on them that they
cannot break away
from its influence. They indulged in all the lusts (thorns)
of the world and
now that they have received the words of life from the
messenger of God,
they cannot break from the desires of the flesh.
The things (thorns) of the world pull them out
of the path of righteousness
and into the dark and lustful world which they allow to
become their master.
God says, you cannot serve two masters, else you will
love the one and
hate the other, see Mt.6:24; Mt.16:24-26; Lk.12:29-34;
Jn.7:7; 16:33.
The person who receives the seed amongst thorns (worldly
lusts; ambitions)
cannot champion Gods cause in the revealed Truth of
the Seven Seals,
because the things of this world are his or her god, see
Mt.13:22 in relation
to Mt.13:7.
There is a group of people that are represented by the
seed that falls on
good ground. This person has depth of root and a strong
foundation, as
they carefully weigh the words of life and through the
Revelation of the
words of the Holy Spirit, they give up all to follow and
fulfill the words
of God. In the latter days, the person that is
represented by the seeds that
fall on good ground, are those who hearken and consider
the deep things
of the Seven Seals Revelation, which they receive from
the Chosen Vessel
of the Remaining Bride.
In the days of Christ, the Apostles that followed
Christ represented the
seed that fell into good soil, therefore they brought
forth fruit unto salvation.
The Apostles having heard the Revelation at that time
directly from Christ
himself, are the seed that brought forth an hundred fold.
Those who were
gathered after the death of Christ by the Apostles are a
type of the Firstfruits
that bring forth sixtyfold. The churches which the
Apostles had set up were
Firstfruits. The churches (Firstfruits) gathered
those typifying the Great
Multitude (Gentiles) who brought forth thirtyfold.
The latter day Lamb (Man-child of Rev.12:5)
came with his Reward
(Seven Seals Scroll) to gather his Bride. The Bride
are those that the latter
day Lamb gathered personally, using the Seven Seals
Revelation that is
contained in the double sided scroll. The Bride of the
Lamb represents the
seed that fell on good soil and brought forth fruit of
one hundredfold. The
Bride prophesies again in Rev.10:11; 11:3; 12:6,14, and
gathers her
children (Firstfruits) who are represented in the
parable by the seed
that fell on good ground and brought forth sixtyfold.
After the Bride has finished her testimony she will
also be killed, just as the
Apostles were killed for the word which they held. The
Kingdom will be
set up at the Sixth Seal, thereafter the Firstfruits are
brought into the
Kingdom (New Jerusalem) and will be changed into
Super-beings
(Fiery Flying Serpents) and sent out to gather the
Great Multitude.
The Great Multitude (the third group to be saved in
the last generation
of the living) are represented in the parable as
those that receive the Word
from the Firstfruits (after the five months of
torment), and enter into the
Kingdom of God before the plagues are let loose. The
Great Multitude
represent the group that brings forth fruit thirtyfold,
see Mt.13:23.
The seed that falls on good ground brings forth fruit;
some seed brings
forth a hundredfold, another group brings forth
sixtyfold, and yet another
group brings forth thirtyfold. The three groups of seed
that fall on good
ground, can also be seen in the Levitical harvest, see
Lev.23:11,17,39,40.
The group that brings forth an hundredfold, is
represented in Lev.23:10 by
the First of the Firstfruits, being the barley that is
offered at the time of
Passover. The First of the Firstfruits represent the
latter day Bride (type
of the Apostles). The group that brings forth
sixtyfold represents the
Firstfruits in Lev.23:17, being two loaves baked with
fine wheat flour.
The group that brings forth thirtyfold, represents the
fruits that were
gathered in Lev.23:39,40, being the Great Multitude, who
are the third
group and are to be gathered by the second group (Firstfruits).
PARABLE OF THE
MUSTARD SEED
Matthew 13:31
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain
of mustard seed, which a man took,
and sowed in his field:
13:32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest
among herbs, and becometh a tree, that
the birds of the air come and lodge in
the branches thereof.
The parable of the mustard seed shows how small beginnings
with few
followers, is not a determination of whether God is
with the group or not.
What may seem small in the onset (as the
mustard seed is the smallest
of beginnings), can and will become a great gathering.
Therefore, we
are not to despise the day of small beginnings, see
Zec.4:10. As surely
as the mustard seed became the greatest of all herbs,
those who receive
of the Revelation of the Seven Seals Mystery shall be a
part of the
greatest Kingdom, being Gods Kingdom.
God is able to set the basest of men to rule
over the whole earth,
see Dan.4:17. None can judge the means or whom God uses
to
progress and champion the written Word. God
uses the foolish
things of man to confound the so-called wise. Since
Gods thoughts
are different from those of this world, it is easy to not
realize through
whom the words of Life are being spoken, see Is.55:8,9.
Truth has never been popular. However, Gods Word
(as stated in
prophecy) shall not fail. Those who have an
ear to hear what the Spirit
saith shall escape the terrible time of trouble
that will come upon all that
dwell on the earth. The wise will hearken unto the
Revelations of the
Chosen Vessel before the fulfillment of the great
and dreadful day of
Gods wrath. Gods Kingdom will be the
greatest of all kingdoms,
just as the mustard seed becomes the
greatest of all herbs.
PARABLE OF THE
HIDDEN TREASURE
Matthew 13:44
The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath
found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that
field.
It was custom for those who lived in the days of
Christ, to bury their
valuables in their field. Because of invasions by other
nations or death
of the owner, the treasure could remain hidden in the
field. When a
Husbandman (one who works in the field) would
labor in the field
with his plough, sometimes the Husbandman would plough up
buried
treasure. The Husbandman reburies the treasure and sells
all that he
has, to purchase the field that contains the buried
treasure, thereby the
treasure and all within the field would belong to the new
owner
of the field.
The same applies to a person that finds the messenger
of God. Once
an individual finds the Words of Life (through the one
that has the
wisdom and understanding of the Seven Seals Revelation,
and of
all the prophecies that are written in the Lambs
Scroll of Life) it
would be wise to sell all that one has in this world to
obtain the wisdom
and understanding of Gods inspired Revelation. The
receiver of the
knowledge of the Seven Seals Revelation must sell ALL to
obtain the
hidden treasure (Hidden Manna); nothing of this
world must be kept,
as one is to sell ALL to obtain this heavenly treasure.
Those who love the wisdom of God shall obtain
substance and treasures,
see Prov.3:13-18; 8:10,21. A persons life is but a
shadow and a mist
that passes away. It is now time for those who taste of
the Hidden Manna
to give up their earthly desires and ambitions and take
up the heavenly
desires and ambitions. The heavenly desires cannot be
compared to the
earthly desires of the flesh. Here and now is the time to
choose between
God and man, heaven and earth; for the wise shall shine
bright as the
stars forever!
PARABLE OF THE
HIDDEN LEAVEN
Matthew 13:33
The kingdom of heaven is like unto
leaven, which a woman took, and hid
in three measures of meal, till the whole
was leavened.
The parable is of the Kingdom of heaven which is
hidden in one of
the three measures of meal. The leaven in this parable
represents the
Kingdom of God, being the knowledge of Truth that the
Chosen
Vessel imparts. The Kingdom of God does not come first by
observation, just like you cannot know in which of the
three meals
the leaven is hidden until the time of baking. Like the
parable of the
mustard seed, the beginning of the Kingdom of heaven is
not
noticeable until the right time when the harvest has
matured.
The same applies in the parable of the three measures
of meal, where
one of the meals has leaven hidden within it, and only at
the time of
baking can one know for sure which one has the leaven.
Therefore,
the means and ways God uses to bring and impart Truth is
not easily
detectable by the human eye. Only those who have an ear
to hear
what the Spirit saith will understand the Revelation that
is being
presented.
Christ of 2,000 years ago was the Anointed of God.
After his death
he rose from his tomb, showing that he was the Anointed
of God.
When the three measures of leaven are baked, the one that
rises
(resurrection) will be the one that has the leaven (Truth).
In the
latter days, the Chosen Vessel with the Remaining Bride
are to be
killed and rise in three and a half days see Rev.11:7-11,
showing
that she (Bride) is the Bride of the Lamb and that
the leaven
(Truth; light) was hidden within her.
The latter day Elijah messenger that came to gather
his Bride, was
the one that had the knowledge of the Seven Seals written
within him.
No man, but the latter day Man-child of Rev.12:5, can
open and reveal
the sealed book (scroll) that is in the
Lords Right Hand,
see Rev.5:1-7.
The latter day Man-child appeared in the latter days
with his Reward
(Seven Seals Scroll). He gathered his Bride with the
knowledge of the
scroll by showing her where she is written in prophecy.
The Man-child
was killed according to prophecy, and the Chosen Vessel
of the Remaining
Bride (woman) was given the scroll, see
Rev.10:7-10. The Bride must
prophesy again as it is written on the other side of the
scroll, revealing the
prophecies that relate unto her destiny. Unless you have
an ear to hear
what the Spirit saith (through the Chosen Vessel of
the Remaining
Bride that is now prophesying again), you will not
see the leaven
(Revelation).
PARABLE OF THE
MARRIAGE
Matthew 22: 2
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a
certain king, which made a marriage
for his son,
22: 3
And sent forth his servants to call them
that were bidden to the wedding: and
they would not come.
22: 4
Again, he sent forth other servants,
saying, Tell them which are bidden,
Behold, I have prepared my dinner:
my oxen and my fatlings are killed,
and all things are ready: come unto
the marriage.
22: 5
But they made light of it, and went
their ways, one to his farm, another
to his merchandise:
22: 6
And the remnant took his servants,
and entreated them spitefully, and
slew them.
22: 7
But when the king heard thereof, he
was wroth: and he sent forth his armies,
and destroyed those murderers, and
burned up their city.
22: 8
Then saith he to his servants, The
wedding is ready, but they which
were bidden were not worthy.
22: 9
Go ye therefore into the highways,
and as many as ye shall find, bid to
the marriage.
22:10
So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all
as many as they found, both bad and
good: and the wedding was furnished
with guests.
22:11
And when the king came in to see
the guests, he saw there a man which
had not on a wedding garment:
22:12
And he saith unto him, Friend, how
camest thou in hither not having a
wedding garment? And he was
speechless.
22:13
Then said the king to the servants,
Bind him hand and foot, and take
him away, and cast him into outer
darkness; there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
22:14
For many are called, but few are
chosen.
In the parable of the marriage Christ gives a scenario
of a king making
a marriage for his son. The king in this parable
represents God, and the
son represents Christ. The marriage represents the union
of Christ and
his Bride (church).
The servants were sent out to invite guests to the
wedding. The servants
are the Prophets that have been prophesying unto
Jerusalem (Bride) to
prepare her for the wedding to her husband. The people in
Palestine
were invited to be guests at the wedding, as the servants
(Prophets)
would proclaim the words (Present Truth) of God (King)
unto them.
In the parable, the food had been prepared for the
wedding and the time
was at hand. The servants bid the guests to come unto the
marriage of
the kings son. The Prophets (servants)
words (Present Truth) were
taken lightly and disregarded, as some went to their farm
and others to
their merchandise.
The same applies today when the Revelation of the
Seven Seals is rejected
and taken lightly. People are more interested in their
worldly pursuits than
listening to the servants of God, who reveal the Seven
Seals Mystery which
pertains to the latter day prophecies. The parable
reflects how Gods Word
has never been popular. The Christians of today (that
profess to know
Christ, yet reject the Revelation of the Seven Seals
mysteries) are no
different than the Israelites of old. In fact, the
parallel of old Israel and
Christendom is startling.
The servants (Prophets) were taken by the
remnant (the remnant in this
case, being those that did not go to their farm or
merchandise who
were the leadership of the Israelite people) and
persecuted, then put to
death, see Mt.23:37. The parable states that the king (God)
was very
furious with his professed people (since the people
rejected the words
of the Prophets whom God had sent to prepare them),
because they
killed his servants who were bidding the people to the
marriage of his son.
The king (God) sends forth his armies (Assyria
and Babylon) and destroys
those (Israel and Judah) who murdered the
Prophets. The fulfillment of
Jerusalem (the city) being destroyed and burned
up, happened when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon destroyed the city of
Jerusalem and
burned the temple to the ground, see 2Kin.25:8-10. During
the destruction
of Jerusalem, the inhabitants of Jerusalem were taken
into captivity.
The king (God) tells his servants (Prophets)
that those who were bidden
(prior to Israel and Judah being taken captives) were
not worthy. When
king Cyrus of the Medes and Persians overthrew Babylon,
Cyrus allowed
all captives to return unto their own lands. Those who
came out of Babylonian
captivity at that time (being the children of those
who were taken into
Babylonian captivity) represent those in the parable
that were found in
the highways, whom the Prophets (servants) had
bidden unto the marriage
of the kings son (as they return to Jerusalem
from captivity).
The new guests were bidden to return unto Jerusalem
that the marriage
could be furnished with guests when the kings son (Christ)
arrived at
Jerusalem. Both bad and good were gathered to the wedding
that there
could be guests. This also typifies the latter day Lamb
who came with
his Reward (scroll), see Rev.22:12. Those of
Christendom (guests) were
supposed to be waiting for the arrival of the latter day
Lamb who would
reveal the Seven Seals Scroll.
There are both bad and good guests at the wedding, see
Rev.22:11.
Those who receive the Revelation (knowledge) of
the Seven Seals
will have a wedding garment to hide (cover) their
nakedness (sin).
Those who do not receive the Seven Seals Revelation and
make light
of it, will receive the fate of being bound hand and foot
and cast out
into utter darkness.
The parable shows a man without a wedding garment.
This person was
considered bad (tare) as he did not prepare
himself by acquiring a
wedding garment. To attend the wedding of a king without
being in the
proper attire would (in the past) have cost the
guest his life (for being
disrespectful to the king). Those who were called yet
neglected the
Revelation of the Seven Seals Mysteries (prior to the
great and
dreadful day of Gods anger, Sixth Seal) will be
considered as
a guest that came to the marriage without a wedding
garment.
There is not one thing that any professed Christian (guest)
can say when
they are asked why they rejected and refused to hear the
Revelation of
the Seven Seals (wedding garment; light of the Truth).
The Spirit invites those (that have an ear to hear
the invitation unto
the marriage of the Lamb and Bride) who will be the
Blessed, see
Rev.19:9. All the Saints will have their wedding garments
on, see
Rev.19:14, as they receive and accept the knowledge of
the Seven
Seals Revelation. The Christians that have no wedding
garment are
in the Laodicean condition, see Rev.3:14-22.
PARABLE OF THE
HOUSEHOLDER
Matthew 20: 1
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a
man that is an householder, which
went out early in the morning to hire
labourers into his vineyard.
20: 2
And when he had agreed with the
labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard.
20: 3
And he went out about the third hour,
and saw others standing idle in the
marketplace,
20: 4
And said unto them; Go ye also into
the vineyard, and whatsoever is right
I will give you. And they went their
way.
20: 5
Again he went out about the sixth and
ninth hour, and did likewise.
20: 6
And about the eleventh hour he went
out, and found others standing idle,
and saith unto them, Why stand ye
here all the day idle?
20: 7
They say unto him, Because no man
hath hired us. He saith unto them,
Go ye also into the vineyard; and
whatsoever is right, that shall ye
receive.
20: 8
So when even was come, the lord of
the vineyard said unto his steward,
Call the labourers, and give them
their hire, beginning from the last
unto the first.
20: 9
And when they came that were hired
about the eleventh hour, they received
every man a penny.
20:10
But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise
received every man a penny.
20:11
And when they had received it,
they murmured against the
goodman of the house.
20:12
Saying, These last have wrought
but one hour, and thou hast made
them equal unto us, which have
borne the burden and the heat of
the day.
20:13
But he answered one of them, and
said, Friend, I do thee no wrong:
didst not thou agree with me for a
penny?
20:14
Take that thine is, and go thy way:
I will give unto this last, even as
unto thee.
20:15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I
will with my own? Is thine eye evil,
because I am good?
20:16
So the last shall be first, and the first
last: for many be called, but few
chosen.
The householder represents God, the labourers are
those who are called
to work for God in proclaiming the Word of God. The
vineyard represents
the world which is the place of where the hired servants
work. The
householder (God) has agreed to pay the labourers
one penny a day.
The one penny represents the eternal life that God will
give to those who
work in forwarding Gods inspired Word.
The householder hires more labourers who were standing
idle. The reason
for their idleness was because no one hired them. The
householder hires
them with no fixed amount of pay, as the householder will
decide what to
give them at the end of the day. At the sixth and ninth
hour, the householder
hires others that are standing idle because no man hath
hired them.
The householder makes no agreement with them as to
their pay which
they receive at the end of the day. With only one hour of
daylight remaining
before the day will end, the householder hires more hands
at the eleventh
hour to finish the work that was started by the other
labourers. The eleventh
hour workers agreed with the householder to work in the
vineyard without
knowing what wage they would receive.
Christ of 2,000 years ago was showing through the
parable, how the
Apostles were the eleventh hour workers that had done the
least amount
of work for the period of three and a half years. The
eleventh hour
workers received the same wage that was promised to the
Pharisees,
and received their wage first.
Those who murmured against the good man of the house (householder;
Christ) were called, yet were not chosen (because
of their murmurings),
see Mt.20:16. Many are called but few chosen, refers to
those who turned
up to the wedding feast (having been invited; called)
yet had not prepared
themselves by acquiring their wedding garment, therefore
they were not
chosen, see Mt.22:12-14.
In both the parable of the marriage and the parable of
the householder,
the person who is called a friend, was called but not
chosen. When Judas
kissed Christ upon the cheek (at Christs
arrest), Christ called Judas by
the title of friend, see Mt.26:49,50. Judas was called
but could not be
chosen as he did not prepare himself with the inspired
words of Christ
while he was with him.
The Pharisees and Sadducees were called, and they too
worked in the
vineyard of God. However, they failed to prepare
themselves with the
inspired words of Christ, even though the Pharisees and
Sadducees had
laboured for the Word of God for many years.
Look back at the mistakes of those of the past who
rejected the Prophets
of God and also Christ. Do you think that if you had
lived back in their
time, that you would have believed on the Prophets?
The Christians of today have very little or no doubt
that they would have
followed Christ. Yet if the Truth be known, Christians of
today have rejected
the words (Present Truth) of God given through the
Chosen Vessel in the
latter days; just as those of the past rejected all the
words of God through
the Prophets and Christ. The Pharisees and Sadducees
believed that if they
had lived in the days of their fathers, they would not
have killed the Prophets,
see Mt.23:29-31; Lk.11:47-51.
The problem is not in the religious leaderships
believing in old (past) Truth.
The problem is caused by rejection of Present Truth; that
which is revealed
concerning the time at hand. The Revelation of Truth has
never been popular,
and many of Gods Prophets and people who chose to
believe were killed
for trying to warn the people. The judgments of God will
be fulfilled upon
those who reject the Revelation that came through the
Chosen Vessel.
When it came time for every man to receive his wages,
those that were first
hired to work in the vineyard (seeing the other
servants receive a penny
before them), assumed they would receive more because
they had worked
for the whole day. When they were paid one penny as
agreed, they murmured
against the good man of the house. This showed that they
were not fit for the
Kingdom of heaven even though they had been called to
work in the vineyard.
The labourers who murmur against the good man of the
house will not be
hired (called) again. Many Christians and
non-Christians have been called,
but few are going to be chosen to continue working in the
vineyard. No
one is to despise those that do a small time of work in
the vineyard, or
they will be found murmuring against God.
The eleventh hour workers that were hired for one hour
typify the one hour
workers that prophesy during the one hour reign of latter
day Babylon, see
Rev.17:12. Christ started his ministry after being
baptized in the river Jordan
by John the Baptist, this typified the first half of the
hour that would be taking
place in the latter days. The latter day Lamb would also
begin his ministry
when latter day Babylon reigns for one symbolical hour.
The Apostles were considered the eleventh hour
workers. Christ represented
the groom, and the Apostles represented the Bride. Christ
was the vine and
the Apostles were the branches that bare fruit.
The latter day Lamb (Man-child of Rev.12:5; Messiah)
revealed the
mystery of the Seven Seals and gathered his Bride (followers)
during
the first half hour. Christs ministry of 2,000
years ago typifies the first
half hour of latter day Babylons reign, see
Rev.17:12. Through the types
and examples of the past (though often reversed),
we can see the future
which is written in prophecy, enabling us to understand
Gods plan for
the latter days (our day).
The latter day Lamb (Man-child) prophesied for
HALF AN HOUR,
see Rev.8:1. The Man-child being killed parallels the
death of John the
Baptist (Elijah type). After John the
Baptists death, the Apostles and
Christ prophesied again to the Judeans, which represented
the second
half hour that the eleventh hour workers had to work in
the vineyard
(world).
The type of Christ prophesying again (after John
the Baptists death),
typifies the latter day Chosen Vessel (Elisha type)
who prophesies again,
see Rev.10:11; 11:3; 12:6,14. The Chosen Vessel with the
Remaining
Bride prophesies again for HALF AN HOUR which is the
remainder
of the ONE HOUR (eleventh hour) of Babylons
reign.
The first half hour of the eleventh hour was of
Babylon (Christendom)
receiving the Revelation of the Seven Seals from the
latter day Lamb
(Man-child). The latter day Lamb (Elijah type) has
finished his work
(and has been killed) prophesying for the first half
an hour of
Babylons reign.
The Chosen Vessel (Elisha type) must now
prophesy again just as the
Christ of 2,000 years ago prophesied after the death of
John the Baptist.
Those whom the Apostles (type of the Remaining Bride) gathered
were
considered as Firstfruits, the same applies to the latter
day scenario. The
Remaining Bride that prophesies again after the death of
the Lamb (Elijah
type) are now gathering the Firstfruits.
The parable of the Householder who hired workers to
work in his vineyard,
shows the eleventh hour workers working for the least
amount of time, yet
receiving the same wage as those who worked the whole
day. The eleventh
hour workers receive their pay first. At the end of the
day it is even (evening),
the even represents the time of the Sixth Seal which
happens after the one
hour (eleventh hour) reign of latter day Babylon,
when all of Gods servants
(Christians) will be judged.
The day of reckoning has arrived and who shall be able
to stand? Only the
wise shall understand, and none of the wicked shall know
the understanding
of Daniel and Revelation completely and accurately.
